    ECHO CARBON XL 590 FLY ROD : 5WT, 9'0"


    The Echo Carbon XL 590 Fly Rod is perfect choice as your primary all purpose trout rod for almost any situation. This is the sweetest, smoothest casting 5wt on the market in this price range. The Carbon XL (extra-light) will present a dry fly with delicate precision at 80ft, throw a nymph rig with ease, and toss streamers with accuracy. It also excels fishing for smallmouth bass. This versatile 5wt will cover most fishing situations for trout or smallmouth.


    Tim Rajeff spent over a year designing these rods so they would have an exceptional smooth action and feel to appeal to a broad range of anglers, while being virtually effortless to cast. Echo is legendary for building exceptional, high-performance rods that rival the best rods on the market, at a much lower price. The Echo Carbon XL fly rods are the sweetest casting rods and compare to high-end rods that cost 4 times as much. If you are looking for a fantastic, medium-action trout or smallmouth bass rod at a very modest price, the Echo Carbon XL was made for you!

    Echo Carbon XL

    Shawn Carmody (Puget Sound, WA) | March 11th, 2024
    The Echo Carbon XL in a 9’ 5 weight is a really nice rod. I have a slower casting stroke and don’t always match up well with the faster action rods. This casts a weight forward floater really well but I haven’t really pushed it. Mostly light streamers or wet flies and soon dries. That is what I bought it for though so it performs great for what I wanted. I really like Echo rods as they are good casters for reasonable prices. I do not think you would be disappointed with this rod. Good luck!

    Jumping up to this from the echo lift I immediately noticed a difference in sensitivity. Cleaned up my lazy casting and I could really feel the line shoot out cleaner and further.

    I recently ordered this rod for my wife. It handles great for the price point. She was able to comfortably fish dries, nymphs, and streamers on it.

    This is an awesome rod. The look and feel beat rods twice the price. Beautifully casts both dries and streamers. Hard to beat for the price.

    This rod is an extremely good value. It has crisp casting, is lightweight, and performs better than other 5wt rods I've tried that are significantly more expensive. For it's price range, you cannot beat this rod.

    Purchased this rod to fish for trout on a trip to WY. I am very pleased. The rod casts well and feels good in hand. I would recommend the Carbon XL to anyone wanting to add a nice casting 5wt at a very nice price to their fly rod collection.

    I wanted a second 5wt and after casting a few rods in this price range, I purchased the Carbon XL. I have used it in a warmwater stream for smallmouth and panfish and am currently using it for trout in WY. I have been very impressed with this rod and would recommend it to my friends.

    Great Rod for Trout

    I purchased this as my first rod and was pleasantly surprised at how well it felt in hand, I paired this with the Sage Spectrum C reel and ordered the complete package through Reelflyrod it came set up and I was out fishing a couple days later after some yard practice. I have caught tons of trout on this rod with the biggest fish being a 13 1/2" brown and I am comfortable saying that it could easily catch a 20" brown.

    This is one of a few 5wts in my arsenal and it has helped bring a lot of trout to hand. Great action and easy to cast for a great price!
